Twitter chat 101.

by

I am the Eggland's Best EGG'vangelist and the below is a sponsored post.Ā  The idea to bring ya'll over to the Land of Twitter is all my own. (This will BREW while we chat.) I'm one *still* who loves to hang out on the Twitters. People criticize the platform and how it's changed as it's grown (that's a post for a different day), but I've fallen in love over there more times than I can ... Continue Reading

Food with BENEFITS (who’s down wit’ F.W.B.?).

by

(ummm. that was for PUFFER FISH but OK.) I've talked before about the fact we DON'T do food sneaks. We all need to do what works best for our family and, for us, *sneaking* in the health means the Husband Tornado isn't *building* healthy habits. We are big fans of the open sneak---but that's not what we're chatting about today. Today we are focusing on the H-WORD. The healthy. The word ... Continue Reading

The only constant is change (guest post).

by

ā€œThe only constant is changeā€ Thatā€™s not my quote, but I believe it. Once you know that the natural state of things is to evolve then change is something you may actually look forward to. Maybe I believe that because of my background. To give you an idea, I went to three different high schools, in three different countries, each in a different continent with a different language. My dad ... Continue Reading

I’m running a half-marathon (AKA practicing what I long to preach).

by

For the past few Saturday mornings the child and I have headed to Lake Merritt and met up with a group called Running for a Better OaklandĀ  (RBO for short which lends itself fantastically to the oft shouted by 8 year old types & their annoying 44 year old compatriot LETS GO RBO!!!). It's been fun. Surprisingly fun. *Still* fun when we ran in pouring rain and did mountain climbers ... Continue Reading

Creating a personal mantra.

by

When I first began meditating I mocked the notion of a mantra. I now *cringe* at how I made fun of what I perceived to be jibberish syllables---the thing is back then I simply didn't understand. And then I meditated. I attempted to quiet my monkey mind and quickly realized I needed more tools than just brute force (<---you'd think I'd have already learned that never works). And ...

Coconut oil pulling: 2 years later.

by

  Time FLIES when you're gagging over a clumpy bit of oily goodness in your mouth having fun, huh? It's been TWO YEARS since I launched my love affair with oil pulling and, if you're just joining us, here's a bit of the why & the how (the longer bit can be found here). I'm a misfit.Ā  I'm either an early adopter or I'm so late to the soiree most people have headed ... Continue Reading

Weighing the less and more (guest post).

by

Please welcome Katie. I invited her here to chat about CHANGE as her change'perience is one Ive NOT experienced. And yet? I can still entirely relate.Ā  Change be universal...   When I saw Carla was looking for guest bloggers to talk about change I immediately jumped at the chance. I mean really. If thereā€™s anything I know these days itā€™s change. Then I thought it over a ... Continue Reading

A Charming guest post.

The below is another guest post in my series addressing CHANGE. It's brought to you by KURGO but the opinions--and attitude shift from his alter-ego NotSoCharming--are all the Goldendoodle's. Hi. My name is Charming.Ā  I don't have a blog yet (www.HesSoCharming.org is currently taken) but I live with a blogger so I know all about how you guys roll. I'm also an avid blog reader (I ...

Which of these friends do you have?

by

I brought my funky friends dress shoes! I spent the past few days at a conference. The focus was learning & networking--but ever the misfit attending sparked me to consider my larger social experience. To ponder my introvert status and realize how much I need my community. Meeting so many amazing women served to highlight my dependency on different friends for different reasons. How ... Continue Reading
